Military aircraft rudder pedal design specifications require that the pedals have a ten inch fore and aft adjustment range to accommodate leg lengths of various pilots. The rudder control and brake functions must be transmitted from the rudder pedals, regardless of adjusted position, to some fixed points in the aircraft where bellcranks and torque shafts (which drive cable quadrants or brake valves) may be located. The transmission of the rudder and brake functions to the fixed points has traditionally required a complexity of pushrods and bellcranks.
